Years ago I fell in love with daylilies. It was when I lived at the townhouse and the soil was horrid clay. I had over 50 varieties and I left them behind when I moved in 2009. At my new location, I began to figure out what to do with the nine or ten large flowerbeds that had been untended for years. It has been slow going, but I'm back to putting in daylilies. I began last year and then waited patiently for this summer to arrive so that I could see the fruits of my hard work. And now they are beginning to bloom! I think I have about twenty varieties so far, but not all of them will bloom this year because I planted some of them early this spring and they need to get established. Here's what I is blooming this week:

| Ack! I can't remember the name of this one. |

| Red Volunteer |

| Lavender Vista |
Once you plant daylilies, there is nothing more to do except periodically pulling dead foliage off the bottom of the plant. They are easiest thing to grow on the planet. They thrive on neglect and bad soil. I've never met one I didn't love.

Isn't that top one Joylene Nichole? A more southern belle named daylily has not existed which is why it sticks in my brain!
Jess is right, that IS Joylene Nichole!
